~The wound wasn't deep at all, and the goron unfazed didn't even stop his movements. He planted his feet, and barreled towards Shadow, attacking with his shoulder, putting his full weight behind the attack. And his weight was considerable indeed. Pyre watched as the goron attacked, but didn't have time to do anything about it. Shadow was on his own.~

After beilng charged at by the goron, Shadow went flying across the room, and into a wall. "AAAAAAAAGH!" Shadow yelled out in pain as he fell to ground. Shadow then tried to get up, and was able to. "Nice move you really got me there. Now it's my turn. Eh ow!" Shadow the cocked an arrow and shot it at the goron, only to have it deflected once more. Then shadow move toward the goron at what little sped he could muster, and swung his sword at the goron.

~The goron met the attack full on, trusting his natural armor to stop the attack. Unfortunately for him, the sword was more effective than he had though, and it cut into his skin. He roared in pain, grabbing at Shadow, and attempting to throw him across the room. The attack would be bone shattering if Shadow didn't escape it, but at such close range, it was hard to get out of the way. A cruel grin spread across the gorons face as he accessed the situation. He wanted revenge for the blade stuck in his chest, slowly spilling his life blood. An eye for an eye.~

(((o.O wow! your post got so much better. Much better than mine used to be.)))

Shadow struggled and struggle as much as he could, for he knew the gorons intention of killing him. "UUUng! Let me go you big palooka!" Shadow then got the idea of swinging his sword again. Shadow slashed the goron across the chest, hoping it would make the goron let him go.

~The goron was cut across the chest again and grunted in pain. He was going to let the squirming fighter go, but it wouldn't be in a pleasant way. He hefted him into the air, and hurled at the solid rock wall. This nuisance had survived far to long. It was time to put a stop to these intruders advance through goron territory.~

Shadow struggled to his feet but could barely stay up, what with being charged at and flung into the air. "Damn it. What am I going to do? He's going to finish me off! I'm not going to die here. If i'm to survive for, then I have one opyion left, a fall out attack!" Shadow took a deep breath and in an instant Shadow charged at hte goron. He lept into the air, striking the goron, then did a roundhouse strike, multiple slashes, finishing with a stab.

~The goron watched the warrior's furious charge, and curled up into a ball, letting the blade strike his defensive shell. Then, uncurling, he lashed out with his sharp blade, hoping to hit the intruder's shoulder, making him drop his weapon, so he could end this painful battle. At about that time, he felt the air change in the tunnel, and turned around in time to see a dagger flying through the air towards him. He blocked the dagger with his blade, and looked up to see Pyre ready to throw again, leaving him open to an attack from behind.~

"Hmm here a chance for me to attack. " Shadow then cocked an arrow and shot at the goron's head.

~The arrow cut into the back of the gorons head, lodging itself into his skull, buried about 4 inches deep. More than enough distance to kill the rogue before he got a chance to make a noise. The goron started to fall, and Pyre quickly moved forward, catching him, and lowering him to the ground quietly. He looks up at Shadow. "Well done. I'm here because I heard a group of theives lived here, and came to check it out. Could I join you." He looks at Shadow expectantly for a moment. "If you want to follow then do so. Otherwise, I hope that I meet you again." He walks down the hallway, listening intently for any noise of an potential enemies approach.~

"Of course you can join me Pyre, I need all the help I can get. Huh? Hey, wiat for me!" Shadow said as he ran after Pyre as he walked down the hallway.

~Pyre looked back at him, smiling slightly. "I'm glad to have another friend to back me up." At the end of the hallway, the passage forks, and the hylian walks down the right one into another hall. At the end of this was a wooden door. Pyre pushed it, and found it wasn't locked and swung outwards.~

~The door opened out into a larger room. Two torches were on the far wall, and they left flickering shadows dancing along the floor. To the left was another passage, but other than that, the room seemed bare. Suddenly, a shadow darted out of the passage, and headed towards the torches. Upon futher inspection, Pyre could see that it was a sheikah, and that it hadn't noticed the two of them yet. He stopped, shifting into the shadows, easily fading from sight. He motioned for Shadow to hide behind him, before turning his attention back to the Sheikah.~

~The shadow walked up to the wall in between the torches. And drew out a key. Pyre watched curiously as he inserted the key into a hidden keyhole, and the door raised into a compartment in the ceiling, revealing a hidden passageway. The floor of the corridor was covered in dust, and many cobwebs hung from the corners of the walls. The sheikah slipped into the hidden hallway, silently making his way into the darkness. Pyralin followed steathily after him, watching his footprints carefully. At the end of the corridor, their was a four way split. Pyre found that the sheikah had gone off the right, so he went that way, and before long found another fork. It seemed as if an entire maze was hidden underground, and the sheikah's footprints were their only guide. Pyre only hoped that they wouldn't lose their way.~

"Jezz, I sure do hope we don't run into any gorons in this maze, I still havn't recovered from my last battle. Pyre, do you have an idea where we're going?" Shadow asked Pyre as he followed behind him.

~Pyre stooped down to get a closer look at the tracks. He saw that they went down the left passage, so he followed them that way. "No." He said, tersly, and shortly. There wasn't any other way to describe it. He had lost all sense of direction a couple turns ago. As he walked down the hallway, he looked down again, and saw the familiar footprints going straight down the next passage. He kept walking.~

James was running through the labbyrenth at top speed with an open hand right by his side ready to start shooting fire at anything that might attack takeing occasional stops to listen to his surroundings. After awhile he heard some people talking and started to walk takeing very quiet footsteps so he wouldn't be noticed just incase it was an enemy. Still walking he came to a corner where he noticed the talking got louder he stoped and inched his way to the edge of the corner and peaked behind it and noticed it was just two advenurers and rounded the corner.He then asked"Whats going on in here?"

~Pyre spun around to face the owner of the voice. His dirk was drawn out in his right hand, and his left hand was already slipping into his throwing dagger pouch. He looked at the man cautiously for a moment. "Who are you?..." He looked at Shadow questioningly, wondering if he knew the man, and watching for any flicker of recognition on his face. He didn't know if he could trust this man, but it wouldn't hurt to have another comerad to help him. One could never have enough companions in a unfamiliar and hostile place like this.~
